The Gem Of the Valley continues to
increase in population and wealth be-
yond anything in the annals OF the
world. Monrovia is city with mayor
and council and all other belongings
of municipality. The building boom
is at y white heat, and no limit is set
short of that made by an exhaustion
of material and labor. w. N. Monroe
is Mayor OF the new city, and this
insures anorderly town of good morals.
The grading for the Rapid Transit
Railroad is now done to the limits Of
this city. The question now is, where
shall this road reach the heart of Los
Angeles. 1t will increase the business
OF this city wherever it comes in, and
most of the benefit will accrue
to that section OF Los Angeles
where it comes in A great inducement
is offered to have it come in down
about Seventh street. Property owners
there see the advantage Of such de-
pot and are making a big pull to get
it mere. 1t is expected to be in oper-
alton in few weeks.

Quick Sales,

About three weeks ago lots in the
town of Carlton were placed on the
market by Lee McGown, Jr., OF No.
10 North Spring street. Since that
time he has sold 1888 lots, or the en-
tire first section, and 62S lots in the
second section, or a total OF 2l66 lots
in three weeks. Mr.. McGown has
displayed surprising amount OF
energy in conducting this sale, and in
all others that he has undertaken
since he has been in business in the
CITY. There are number OF lots left
in Carlton, hut if the rate Of sale keeps
up there will be nothing left by the
first of the year.

JAMES O'NEILL
In Monte CristO at the Grand
Opera House.


In Monte Cristo at the Grand
Opera House.
A large audience filled the Grand
Opera House last evening to witness
the performance OF the Count of Monte
Cristo, by Mr.. James O'Neill and his
excellent troup of actors and actresses.
The plot OF Alexander Dumas great
est novel The Count of Monte
Cristo" is familiar to every onr,
and it is not necessary to state
that "a play founded upon it is full of
interest and sure to win the applause
and admiration of any intelligent au-
dience.. And. judging from this fact
alone. the first production OF the
piece last evening was a most decid. d
success Like the pl y, it is hardly
necessary to say who James O'Neill is.
His sucuess. as an actor Of great force
and power has made his name the
guarantee for crowded house, and
a. Monte Cristo he is at his best.
While he has never appeared upon
the stage in tn 8 city before he is well
known as former member of the late
John ,MaCultough's stock company in
San Francisco. When the cur
tain rose upon the FIR t
act last night, the audience
hurst into spontaneous applause, so
beautiful and realistic was the I'icture
of the port of Marseilles. This act
shows the plot to ruin Edmund Dantes
by sending him for life to the Chateau
d. Ii. He is arrested just as he is
about to he married to his promised
bride, Mercedes. Between the first
and second acts lapse OF eighteen
years is supposed to occur, and
the cnrtain g,es up, presenting TO
the view of the audience room in
the house of the Count de MOrceri.
The second scene of the second act is
8. magnificent one, showing, as it does
the st 'rm beaten coast OF the island
of Monte Cristo. The sight Of the
guards throwing the supposed corpse
of the Abhe Faria into the sea thrillei
the audience and caused all to catch
their breath, SO realistic and horrible
was it.
The remainder of the performance
was as strong, If not stronger than,
the first two acts, and at times the
audience became SO still in their in
tense interest that the falling OF a pin
could have been heard. A. "Mer-
cedes" Miss May Wilkes was superb,
filling the requirements of the part in
q manner that showed her to be u
true arti,t. Mr.. William Rigney, as
"Germain," the conspirator, was very
strong, his dspuises being es-
pecially noteworthy. Mr.. Carroll
Fleming, who took the part
of Albert De Morcerf, il a young man
who. if he sticks to the profession,
will make splendid actor. His play
ing last night was particularly fine.
Mr.. Newt II Dana, as Fernando, after
wards Counte De Morcerf, and Mr..
Lawrence Manning, as Douglass the
Banker, are about the weakest char
acters in the cast. The scenery is all
owned by Mr.. O'Neill and is particular
ly appropriate. The whole performance
is one we'll worthy of crowded houses,
and it is safe to say that tonight and
during the remainder OF the engage
ment every seat in the building will
have an occupant. The performance
will be repeated tonight, to.morr W
night and Friday afternoon and night.

A goodly number OF the most culti-

1t is needless to criticise this charm
ing entertainment for the intelligent
audience who SO perfectly enj 'yed It.
It Is very difficult to do It justice tor
the sake of such readers as were
unfortunately debarred from being
present. Madam Scalchi and Signor
Galassi are the only persons in the
company who have ever been here.
Doubtless, many of the audience have
heard some OF the others elsewhere.
When Scalchi sang here with Mad
am Patti about year ago the ver-
dict of all was that she quite divided
the honors with the diva. In the fifth
number in the first part and in the
third number in the second part, she
sang divinely last night. Both selec-
tions we're most happy. The first she
sang here in the Patti concerts. The
duet is favorite with all lovers of
song. Few sweeter bits are extant. Her
matchless voice has still all its per-
feet freshness. and that fullness and
cyenness as we'll as sweetness uf tone
which charmed Los Angeles people
before. Her reception last night was
an ovation. Being recalled by the
insatiate clamors of the audience, she
sang a most charming canzonet, light,
airy and spirit-stirring. 1t was writ
ten by famous member OF one OF
Col. Mapleson's companies. whose
name has escaped the writer.
Madam Torricelli scored a marked
success in her handling OF the bow.

A Missing Clerk.

One OF the clerks at the Oxford
Hotel, named Porterfeld, absconded
on Friday last with $3.50, the property
OF one OF the guests staying at the
hotel. The money had been put into
an envelope and handed over to the
clerk to be put into the safe. The
temptation was too great for him and
consequently he took the sack and
skipped. The money was missed
about one hour afterwards, hut
although the authorities at the differ
ent stations were telegraphed to, no
arrest has yet been made.

OF Mayor Workman, in his annual

ing of pure water to the people to

The Territorial Auditors suggestion
that a law be enacted by the present
Assembly requiring foreign corpora
tons to pay into the general fund
some adequate compensation for the
privilege of conducting their business
in the Territory should meet with care
full consideration. At present only a
nominal fee is required, to be paid to
the Territorial Secretary, for filing and
recording copy OF their charter or
articles of incorporation.
These companies number about one
hundred, and pay no revenue to the
Territory, except it may be on very
small amount of real or tangible per-
sonal estate they may own in the Ter
ritory. The report says: I" If to in
clude the manufacture of lumber, the
profits of which go to increase the
wealth of outside capitalists, it would
certainly reach several millions. The
gross receipts Of foreign insurance
companies alone cannot be less than a
million dollars. x tax of three per
cent. on this amount would yield q
revenue of $4,000 for the next bien-
NAL term. were such q law enacted
and enforced"
A "gross earnings" tax of this ma
ture will certainly not meet with the
opposition that attaches to this
method of taxation Of railroads whic h
possess a tangible basis for general
levy. Many other States and Terrific
ries have adopted the system and it
has been in operation for a length OF
time that would seem to leave no
doubt Of its constitutionality as well
as its utility rs means of revenue.
